Cooking Method
To Prepare Tart Shells:
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, carom seeds, cumin seeds, r and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Slowly add 2-3 tbsp ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini tart pan.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  6. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough slightly larger than your mini tart pan.
  7. Gently press the dough circles into the mini tart pan, making sure to cover the bottoms and sides.
  8. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork a few times to prevent them from puffing up too much while baking.
  9. Bake the tart shells for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Let them cool completely before filling.
To Prepare the Fruit Chaat Filling:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine cubed apple, banana, corn, chickpeas, tomato and potato.
  2. Drizzle lemon juice over it and season with red chili flakes, chaat masala and black salt.
  3. Mix well and taste, adjusting seasonings as needed.
To Assemble the Fruity Tart Chaat:
  1. Once the tart shells are cool, spoon the prepared fruit chaat filling into each shell.
  2. Top with green chutney and sweet chutney.
  3. Garnish generously with sev and fresh coriander leaves.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
